“…Studies in the climate change cluster have focused mainly on adaptation strategies and livelihoods (De & Das, 2021 ; Ghazali et al, 2021 ; Islam et al, 2022 ), and resilience evaluation (Ghamari et al, 2022 ; Rai et al, 2021 ; Zhao et al, 2022 ).…”

This study aims to highlight the current trends in the literature on sustainability by applying a bibliometric review of papers on sustainability published in Environment, Development and Sustainability . Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative approach to bibliographic materials that highlights the core theoretical and empirical research on a specific field. In addition, it allows the classification of previous studies. Previous bibliometric reviewers were limited to sustainability papers in specific industries, while this study considers all papers on sustainability to provide further insights on overall sustainability topics. The analysis was based on keyword cartography analysis, bibliometric authors’ citation analysis, bibliometric papers’ citation analysis, bibliometric references’ co-citation analysis, journals’ co-citation cartography, and qualitative content analysis. A total of 997 articles on sustainability were reviewed. Bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer and content analysis was performed using WordStat. Six major clusters were identified: environmental sustainability, sustainable development, urban sustainability, ecological footprint, environment, and climate change. In addition, the results reveal that Environment, Development and Sustainability has increasingly experienced important growth in research papers and citations, reflecting its significant contribution to the sustainability research field. In addition, this study presents recommendations for future research opportunities in the field of sustainability. The findings of this study have implications for sustainability research, such as the assessment of environmental and social sustainability in multinational institutional contexts and across industries as well as the examination of the impact of environmental and social sustainability on different corporate aspects and decisions. This study is the only one to review the key topics on which papers published in Environment, Development and Sustainability are focused and can be largely used for sustainability practices. This study provides an overview of how the literature on sustainability has developed, as well as a summary of the most productive authors, along with countries, organizations, and journal sources. This offers an opportunity for future research to focus on this topic.

“…These insights all point to the importance of involving the community and government as key equal stakeholders when designing climate adaptation actions. This article explores this topic in the context of SIDS, with a particular focus on atolls, which are at the frontier of climate change impacts (Amores et al 2022;Cauchi et al 2021;Birk and Rasmussen 2014;Islam et al 2022;White et al 2007).…”

“…The focus is on atolls that are at the frontier of climate change impacts, especially in relation to sea level inundation which will lead to significant loss of land, and importantly, due to storm surges and shallow groundwater lenses, urgent threats to water supplies (Amores et al 2022;Cauchi et al 2021;Birk and Rasmussen 2014;Islam et al 2022;White et al 2007).…”

As the impacts of climate change increase, Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in particular shall face increasingly significant adaptation challenges. Past climate adaptation efforts within SIDS have had limited success. As such, the purpose of this systematic literature review has been to identify areas of importance for facilitating climate adaptation, particularly within Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and more specifically, to assess the extent to which participatory justice within decision-making processes is recognised as an important component of climate adaptation through the lens of water management. This review process utilised the SPIDER tool to guide the literature search across SCOPUS, Web of Science and EBSCO host databases, generating 495 publications that were reduced to a total of 70 sources guided by PRISMA, informing the review’s results and discussion. Thematic analysis of the selected studies was applied, utilising the Values-Rules-Knowledge framework. Through this analysis, five principles were created and comprise the major conclusions of this review: (1) ensuring community engagement, (2) expanding available options through local experimentation, (3) ensuring that monitoring and evaluation of adaptation initiatives are taken seriously, (4) adopting decision-making mechanisms that are systems-oriented and inclusive, and (5) investing only if there is a long-term commitment to protecting SIDS. It is hoped that these principles can serve as a comprehensive guide for funding agencies, applied projects and research aiding climate adaptation within SIDS.

“…1108 For example, the IPCC projects that Tuvalu would be the first country to vanish under water due to the climate change-related sea level rise. 1109 In response to such marine damages, the UNCLOS was established to, inter alia, protect this environment and address liability for the damage incurred. Although the UNCLOS does not explicitly mention climate change, its reference for environmental damage can be extended to include increasing emissions of GHGs and the damage that results.…”
